Holding the walls of Mea Shearim • And the weekly pashakil: Go die in the army

What did the poet mean by the sentence: "Go and die in the army" • Is he encouraging conscription into the people's army, to defend the homeland, or is there a call for refusal here? • Difficult images to view

The weekly pashakil chosen by us may raise internal dissonance at first, but with a little more careful consideration, all doubts may be resolved.

A poster hung on the walls of one of the houses in the exemplary Mea Shearim neighborhood reads: "Go and die in the army." In other words, give your life for the homeland in the people's army - "our beloved army," as the president of the Zionist state said yesterday. And the Chief of Staff, Benny Gantz, once said about this: "We must fight for the right to serve.".

Or not.

Another interpretation is also possible, although its probability is questionable. It is possible that the poster's poster intended to say that one should not go to the army, and that those who are already going would be better off dying there. Indeed, death is better than a life of sin in the army of Zionist criminals.

But, as mentioned, this is just our interpretation.
